MMOs Coming to PSP?

MMOs Coming to PSP?

None

In an interview with MTV Multiplayer, John Smedley of Sony Online Entertainment noted that the company has its eyes set on the PSP for future MMO development.

“We started to get very interested in [the PSP] when we switched over from Sony Pictures to Sony Computer Entertainment back in April…And as we’ve kind of got our heads up looking around the world within Sony Computer Entertainment, we’re really starting to see a big push for PSP. We think it’s a world-class device… In the future, we see full MMOs that are designed for the PSP.”

As for now, Mr. Smedley sees the integration of mini-games and pets from existing MMOs to be playable on the PSP, with full-fledged coming later.

“Another way to do it might be to give them mini-games that they can do [on the PSP] when sitting at a bus stop,” he mentioned. “You’re sitting there leveling up your character, you log in at home when you’re on wi-fi, and all of sudden your character has leveled up. We think those kinds of experiences are very possible.”
